Anchor® 9866 - Rear Lower Engine Torque Strut Mount

This part was perfect looks and function as good as OEM thank you

VERY GOOD. EXCELLENT

Fully satisfied thanks

Motor mounts bolted right up and transformed my vibrating car to a brand new feel.

I was shopping for a while and saw some dubious-looking parts. It was a relief to not only find Anchor (their specialty) but at great prices. It was a good move.

I took out the old motor mount and swapped for this. The price alone is worth it. The original motor mounts were redesigned to be more durable, but at a price of $280 were a bit costly. I opted for this part, which came out to about $53. Install was easy, just make sure the engine is fully supported! I don't recommend you do it the way I did it, which was using a hydraulic floor jack and an old college textbook but it worked for me! After engine is supported, remove air box from grommets to access the bolts. Using an e14 star socket you'll want to remove the bolts from the engine and chassis. Exercise caution when removing bolts from the engine, if you see engine starting to shift, you'll want to bolt it back down and adjust the jack to support it better. When you have the old mount removed, just replace it with the new mount, replace and secure the new bolts, and replace your air box.

Having rebuilt the engine it was time to check out the engine mounts. Though they still looked good showing only a slight cracking, I decided to stay on the safe side and I ordered new one. It is alway better to play it safe. Anchor is a company that I have used over the years and thrust their products.

Installation was fairly easy. There are no instructions and as the base piece needs to be bent around the body side mount bracket, recommendations on how to bend in correctly would be useful (I clamped together with a c-clamp to hold the bracket and mount in place, then used a plastic mallet to bend over the flat tab. I followed this with a 3 lbd sledge and pounded it between two blocks of wood. Worked fine without damaging the rubber). Part fit on the bracket without issue and then bolted to the timing cover without issue. Good fit. Quality wise, this will be hard to tell. The original Ford/Mazda mounts only lasted 5 years or so, and the aftermarket I used last time lasted since 2011. These mounts were poorly designed by Ford/Mazda, so I don't expect them to last a long time anyways. If I get 5 years than that will be success in my book.

I was going on a 1500 mile rode trip in my s430 Mercedes. Dering a oil change I noticed a bad motor mount bought these because they could be delivered in two days. I was pleased, they fit perfectly and they seem to work very well.

Love It!
